Particularly suspension can traverse long distances at speeds of fall is along the coast, in addition to climate change, all this leads us to study their impact on the coast of Bay of Algiers, and exposure offset by upward fluid circulations. to risks of erosion and seawater intrusion. The aim of the work The transport by the sheet flow is located in the area near is the perception of vulnerable coastal areas by determining the the bottom, or the particles move in a disorganized way, coastal vulnerability index (CVI) at Bay of Algiers, based on when currents are intense and relatively coarse sediments. physical, geomorphological and hydrodynamic factors, coupled The flow sheet is a sedimentary layer that moves horizontally a study of groundwater vulnerability to risks bevel saline on the order of a few centimeters in height.

It expresses with the value of this index, and vulnerability to pollution is the degree to which a system is susceptible to, or be adversely higher for higher ribs. Several methods have been developed affected by the adverse effects of climate change, including indexed by DRASTIC principle which, for example: climate variability and extremes. Aquifer Vulnerability Index AVI method (Van Knowing that forecasting studies based on climate models Stempvoort et al, 1993) [10], developed in Canada considers: is agreeing in their majorities on important and negative (1) the depth and conductivity of each stratigraphic layers impacts of climate change by a magnitude of erosion and situated above the groundwater level and (2) the hydraulic decline of coastline over the next century. gradient. Analysis of the coastline is based upon a set tapes or C. Study Area segments. Each coastal segment will have a responsibility to respond unfavorably to a risk, the so-called vulnerability; it is 1) The database defined by the coastal vulnerability index (CVI) and defined Inventory data collection and consist of: files piezometers by Gornitz et al. 1994 [8], an empirical method widely used and drilling of the study area, files rates decline the shores of by United States Geological Survey (USGS).

B. DRASTIC Vulnerability Index from an Aquifer Vulnérabilté DRASTIC index was developed in USA by the "National Water Well Association" (NWWA) in collaboration with "The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency" (EPA) [9]. It provides a model to assess the potential for contamination of aquifers independently of the type of pollutant and that takes into account most of the hydrogeologic factors that affect and control the flow of Fig. 1.

The acronym DRASTIC is derived from In our study area, to calculate the coastal vulnerability the initials of the seven physiographic and hydrogeological index, and apply the DRASTIC method, we made a mesh settings used in the model.

  • The Algerian Armed Forces: National and International Challenges
    THE ALGERIAN ARMED FORCES: NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL CHALLENGES Carlos Echeverría Jesús Working Paper (WP) Nº 8/2004 1/4/2004 Area: Mediterranean & Arab World / Defence & Security – WP Nº 8/2004 (Trans. Spanish) 1/4/2004 The Algerian Armed Forces: National and international challenges ∗ Carlos Echeverría Jesús THE ROLE OF THE ARMED FORCES: FROM INDEPENDENCE TO THE FIRST STEPS TOWARD DEMOCRACY (1962-1988) The Algerian Armed Forces arose from the National Liberation Army (ALN), particularly from the so-called ‘border army’ which, as General Jaled Nezzar recalls in his Memoirs, began to play a dominant role under the command of Colonel Houari Boumedienne in late 1959: this army relentlessly waged war on the French forces deployed on the borders of Morocco and Tunisia until the conflict ended in 1962 (1). Although the creation of the ALN itself dates back to 1954, it was not until the Summam Congress, on August 20, 1956, that its structure was determined and it became considered an instrument for implementing the policies developed by the party: the National Liberation Front (FLN). The internal struggles within the FLN-ALN tandem, both in and outside Algeria, have been described by many authors: both the confrontations within the National Council of the Algerian Revolution (CNRA) and those at the various FLN congresses during and immediately after the war –the Summam Congress (1956), Tripoli Congress (1962) and Algiers Congress (1964)– aimed at taking control of the embryo of the future Armed Forces. According to Mohamed Harbi, the session of the CNRA held in December 1959 – January 1960 was crucial, as it abolished the Ministry of the Armed Forces, replacing it with an Inter-Ministerial War Committee (CIG), directed by military officers of a General Chiefs of Staff (EMG) led by Boumedienne, who went on to become Defense Minister of the first independent government and, starting in June 1965, President until his death in 1978.

LES CONSTRUCTIONS TERRITORIALES DES PÉRIPHÉRIES Pratiques de mobilités résidentielles et processus de territorialisation : le cas de location-vente AADL SALIHA OUADAH REBRAB Maître assistante, Doctorante en Sociologie urbaine, Département de Sociologie, Université d’Alger [email protected] I. LA POUSSÉE DÉMOGRAPHIQUE GÉNÉRATRICE DE LA CROISSANCE URBAINE 1. Alger par rapport aux autres métropoles régionales Au dernier recensement de 1998, l’agglomération d’Alger, comptait 2 562 428 habitants, se détachant nettement des trois autres métropoles régionales algériennes, Oran, Annaba et Constantine. Alger, capitale régionale et nationale, concentrait près de 18 % de la population urbaine du pays1. Sa fonction de capitale la plaçait au sommet de la pyramide urbaine. Le fait qu’elle jouissait d’une force attractive considérable à l’échelle nationale, et qu’elle regroupait l’essentiel des structures de directions, peut être considéré comme étant à l’origine de ce phénomène d’urbanisation très rapide. Les concepteurs d’Alger des XIXème-XXème siècles n’imaginaient pas que cette ville prévue pour 300 à 400 000 habitants en compterait huit à dix fois plus un peu plus d’un siècle plus tard. Le concept urbanistique européen s’est avéré si étroit que l’expansion des grandes villes comme Alger, Oran ou Constantine, s’est faite en direction des périphéries, au détriment, dans certaines configurations, des superficies agricoles. Pour autant, cette expansion vers la périphérie et l’émergence de banlieues autour des villes, n’ont pas soldé le réel contentieux de la surpopulation dans ces grands centres urbains. L’une des raisons en est la centralisation des sphères de la gestion administrative, avec tout ce que les réseaux de décision impliquent en termes de recherche d’emploi, d’avancement de carrière, bref d’accomplissement personnel et professionnel.

  • La Couverture Sanitaire De La Wilaya D'alger
    La couverture sanitaire de la wilaya d’Alger Pr. Larbi ABID Située au bord de la mer méditerranée, la ville donne son nom à la wilaya dont elle est le chef-lieu. La wilaya d'Alger est constituée de 13 daïras et 57 communes. D’une superficie de 820 Km2 (plus petite wilaya du pays) pour une population générale de 3.246.191 habitants (Densité : 3959 habitants/ Km2), Alger est bâtie sur les contreforts des collines du Sahel algérois. La Casbah a été érigée sur le flanc d'une de ces collines qui donne sur la pointe ouest de la baie d’Alger sur un dénivelé de 150 mètres environ. En dehors des fortifications de la ville ottomane, de nouveaux quartiers vont voir le jour le long du bras de colline qui donne sur la baie. La ville va se développer ensuite vers le nord-ouest au pied du mont Bouzareah, qui culmine à 400 m d'altitude, comme le quartier de Bab El Oued, puis tout le long de la corniche qui contourne le massif. Les premières banlieues vont voir le jour au sud-est, le long de la petite bande côtière, jusqu'à l'embouchure du l'Oued El Harrach. L'étalement urbain de la ville se poursuivra au-delà de l'Oued El Harrach à l'est, sur les terres fertiles de la plaine de la Mitidja tout au long de la baie, avant de se poursuivre ces dernières années au Sud et au sud-ouest, sur les collines vallonnées du Sahel, englobant d'anciens villages agricoles.

    Chapter 9 : Evaluation of Urban Vulnerability 9-2-8 Slope Failure Risk Slope gradient is an important factor that is used for assessing the potential for slope failures to be triggered by an earthquake. The average slope gradient was calculated for each commune by using GIS. The slope gradient was determined from 5m digital elevation model data for the built-up areas within the Study Area. Figure 9-17 shows the distribution of the average slope gradients within the Study Area. Legend Borders of communes Average slope gradient: degree 0.00 - 5.00 5.01 - 10.00 10.01 - 15.00 15.01 - 20.00 20.01 -? 31.3831.38 Source: JICA Study Team Figure 9-17 Distribution of Slope Gradients within the Study Area Table 9-15 shows the average slope gradient of the built-up areas within each commune.
